Very enjoyable visit. I spoke with one of the head chef Moe and he was very polite and helped me and my wife in deciding what sushi to get. He even recommended some Burmese dishes that were amazing. The environment was very welcoming and understanding of someone who had no prior knowledge to the food. Will definitely be coming back soon!

Was fortunate to discover this place during a brief weekend stay in the area. I visited Myanmar in 2018 and have been dreaming of Burmese food ever since! Ordered the mohinga and it was excellent. Really complex and deeply flavored. Just wish I had room to try something to else—all the other food being served looked delicious as well!

Extremely poor service

Only one young gentleman server at the time of our visit. It was our first visit at this establishment, server had to come back 2-3 times, unable to explain dishes we were inquiring about, he also mentioned kitchen was busy... there was another group of 6 or 7 customers aside from us in the establishment....beyond poor service... Used dishes left unattended on tables... Horrible everything, we ended up leaving, never to go back everrr.

This family-owned restaurant impressed me with its tasty food, simple and calm atmosphere, and friendly service. I ordered the Royal Tea Leaf Salad (a crunchy salad thanks to the roasted legumes) and the garlic noodles, where the roasted tofu was a standout. I do not usually eat vegetarian food, but I'd happily have those dishes again. It was my first time experiencing Burmese cuisine, and it was a delightful introduction. There was a slight wait due to being short-staffed, but it was well worth the wait. I regret not taking a photo!

We had tea leaf salad, Shan noodles, and beef biryani. We were very happy to be able to dine eating authentic Burmese food. The location has a lot of potential. They have definitely earned return trips from us, looking forward to eating here again!

This is a Burmese place that opened not long ago! It's under new management and does not have Japanese food anymore (they did before).

I was able to share a bunch of dishes amongst ten adults. Here is what we ordered (to the best of my memory):
-mutton biryani $17.99 - so good!! Get this!!
-khao soi tote $11.99 - This was very good. We may have gotten two orders of this.
-royal tea leaf salad $13.99 - This was my personal favorite. I absolutely love all the flavors and textures. I would get this again and again.
-fish cake salad $12.99 - This was popular in the group, but I enjoyed the tea leaf salad more.
-fried tofu - eh, I could skip this.
-noodle with pork (I don't know the name, but the meat balls were tasty)

The server dude was real kind. We were the only group at the time, so he gave us a lot of attention. He spoke Burmese with one of the members in our group. He gave us free ice cream and let us pick the flavors!

There is free street parking.

Vegetarian friendly (all four dishes pictured = prepared vegetarian) and amazing burmese food! The tea salad was the best I have ever had, and the chickpea tofu salad is great too.

I was recommended this place from a Burmese friend, so this review is focused on the Burmese food since I didn't order any Japanese food.

The biggest compliment I can give this place is that the food tasted amazing and felt super authentic (as far as I can tell). Their tea leaf salad, garlic noodles, and vegetarian paratha were delicious and we can't wait to go back!
